Mark Arcobello was a revelation to start the season as a replacement for Sam Gagner, who had broken his jaw. The diminutive center (5-8, 166 lbs) posted 10 points in 13 games playing on the team's second line, showing that he could certainly translate his strong AHL production into solid NHL numbers. He then found it much harder to navigate the ice as a bottom-six guy and watched his ice time plummet. A shoulder injury then ended his year. He is expected to be healthy entering training camp and could just win Gagner's vacated spot on the second line. Forty points are within reach in that situation. Watch him in camp. (Updated 8/13/14)
